(PETERBOROUGH) Any momentum the Peterborough Petes built via a modest two-game winning streak was abruptly lost Thursday night (Dec. 13) as the Brampton Battalion downed the maroon-and-white 4-1 at the Memorial Centre.
The Petes opening the scoring in the first period as Greg Betzold found the back of the net but that was it offensively for the night as the Battalion tied the contest before the first frame ended, and then added two more goals in the second to take a 3-1 lead.
The Petes pressured the visitors in the third period but came up short, the Battalion scoring in the final minute to close things out.
The Petes now travel to Ottawa for a contest with the 67s Friday night (Dec. 14) and then close out their pre-Christmas schedule Sunday afternoon (Dec. 16), hosting the Barrie Colts at 2:05 p.m.
